After Dev-D, Mahie Gill and Abhay Deol reunite as on-screen couple

After a series of memorable performances, actress Mahie Gill will now be a part of the upcoming war-epic 1962: The War In The Hills. She will essay the role of Shagun Singh, wife of an Army officer, while Abhay Deol will be her co-star. Incidentally, the two will be seen together on screen after they worked together in the film Dev-D a while ago. Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, the Hotstar Specials series is inspired by true events and narrates an untold story of bravery and valour, and how an Army of 125 Indians stood against 3,000 Chinese.

Says Mahie, 1962: The War In The Hills is a rather special show for me. There was once a time when I was selected to be a part of our Armed Forces. And today, I get to play a pivotal role in a war series, not as a soldier but as the proud wife of an officer. I believe that families who support our jawans through everything are also heroes. My character is strong and resilient, and is fighting her personal battles.”
